As requested by Jools...
I successfully defended my PhD dissertation "A Phylogenetic Analysis of the Asian Catfish Family Sisoridae (Teleostei: Siluriformes), and the Evolution of Epidermal Characters in the Group" yesterday.
Now, I have to box up all my stuff (including a desktop computer and my large fish library) and ship it halfway across the world.

I believe it's "Professor Silurus" as it already was Doctor Silurus I think.
Well done & congrats!
definitely beaming on that pic; btw who are the other fishgeeks portrayed? I'm curious.

Congrats Siluris, I always suspected that it's "more than just a hobby" with your skill for ID'ing cats.
Well done.
